Description

Task

Now that we have moved to jsonb for storing our content, we need to drop the old 1-25 typed columns for code sanitation and performance.

Proposed Objective

Application Performance

Proposed Priority

Priority 2 - Important

Acceptance Criteria
  • The typed columns in the contentlet table should no longer be created or part of the dd
  • all content operations should be unchanged
  • Push publishing and integrity checker should work. Bundles created before the dropping the columns should still work
